Fatigue hit hard after today's dose, normal?

Took my 0.25 semaglutide this morning and by afternoon I was dragging so bad I could barely keep my eyes open, way worse than previous weeks. I'm down 33 lbs so far so the med is clearly working, but this tiredness is new for me. Anyone else get hit with heavy fatigue right after injection day, and did it ease up as you went along?

Mine hit hardest the day after, not the same day, and it was gone by week four or five. Did yours stay on that same afternoon schedule or did it start drifting later like mine did?

#5

I had the same slump on shot day early on, like a wall I hit around mid afternoon. Mine got less brutal after I started dosing on a Friday so I could just rest through the worst of it.

How much water are you getting on shot day? Mine was brutal until I started front-loading fluids the night before, and I'm only a few lbs in so I'm watching this one closely

mine landed the day after shot day rather than same-day, and it was worst the couple weeks I was barely eating lunch. Once I started getting an actual meal in earlier it eased off, though I'm only a bit past where you are.

Mine was never same-day, always the morning after, and it kept up for a few weeks before tapering off. Curious whether yours lines up with shot day or the day after once you track it a bit.

#12

I'm down a chunk myself and shot day still flattens me some afternoons, so for me it hasn't fully vanished, it just got less dramatic. Curious whether yours is worse on the day itself or the morning after.

#15

Injection day naps were a thing for me too the first month or so, and mine faded once I stopped skipping breakfast on dose days. Curious whether yours lands the same day every week or bounces around.

#16

honestly mine was the opposite, day after was always worse than shot day itself. Did it stay a same-day thing for you or did it drift later in the week
